Some Important Things to Know
The VCRP is a voluntary registration system for cosmetic products as defined by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), section 201(i); 21 USC 321(i). Drugs are subject to different FDA registration and marketing requirements (FD&C Act, sec. 510; 21 CFR 207). Depending on the claims made, some cosmetic products may also be drugs. If a cosmetic product is also a drug, it must comply with the requirements for both cosmetics and drugs.
